Following up her wildly underrated 2008 album Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams, Solange is back with a new sound courtesy of Blood Orange‘s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev_Hynes" target="_blank">Dev Hynes</a>, who also helmed Sky Ferreira‘s track “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jtTeMgWNhA" target="_blank">Everything Is Embarrassing</a>.”</p> <p>Those two songs actually have a lot in common, since both are chilled-out, modern alt-pop that eschew the all-too-common house sound in favor of airy ’80s instrumentation. But whereas Ferreira’s “Embarrasing” is dissonant and a little bitter, Solange’s track is all about desire. “I’m not the one that you should be making your enemy/Tell me the truth, boy, am I losing you for good?” she coos over those featherweight tropical synths.</p> </blockquote> <p>…and this looks like it was shot in Khayelitsha</p>http://cnandiy.tumblr.com/post/39993855695http://cnandiy.tumblr.com/post/39993855695Tue, 08 Jan 2013 00:28:04 -0500goyalla: A year ago today, the state of Georgia executed a man whose guilt was widely contested....http://cnandiy.tumblr.com/post/33255720371http://cnandiy.tumblr.com/post/33255720371Tue, 09 Oct 2012 18:10:46 -0400Troy Davis<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maphsxTNyw1qap9gno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fuckyeahmarxismleninism.tumblr.com/post/31991165989/martina-correia-1967-2011-from-sis-marpessa" target="_blank">fuckyeahmarxismleninism</a>:</p> <blockquote> <h3 class="r"><strong>Martina Correia (1967-2011)</strong></h3> <p><em>From Sis Marpessa (via Facebook):</em></p> <p><span>“As we debate about ‘leaders’ the real sheros/heros quietly go about doing the work in our midst.
